Your suggestion about putting expanding foam into the rack tubes is an 
excellent one. When I was making my own racks out of electrical 
conduit, I used this method. It really did work. I had forgotten about 
it. Anyone who is using two modules or an interface to add inputs 
should consider this option.A word of caution: It can be messy!
Use care to avoid getting foam on the outside of the tube (and keep it 
off your hands and clothes.)
I will definately try it!
